Food Scene

I'm capturing a few close-by options for dining (mostly lunch and dinner) that I enjoy.
A nice range of chowder options and pretty good burgers too. Great outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

Your basic pho place that's often quicker than a drive-up fast-food window. Not fancy in any way, but perfect for a steamy bowl of goodness. Plus, they give you little cream puffs for dessert. Yum.

Close by and great people-watching location.

Not a coffee drinker, I actually haven't been here, but I wanted you to know there's yet another option for coffee. :) This is a friend's husband's go-to place.

Closest Thai restaurant. Not the best, but the closest.

Small place, with food made from the heart. Some Greek staples. I find their hummus a little too garlicky, but that’s totally subjective.

Evenings, they have a woman making fresh corn tortillas that you can get hot off the grill. Their refried beans are fab-u-lous. Churros with chocolate sauce are super-yummy. Not the best Mexican food *ever* but yummy 'basic' Mexican food and super-convenient. Bar too.

THIS IS GREENLAKE BAR & GRILL (formerly Lunchbox Lab, but Airbnb is naming it and I can’t edit it). A solid, consistently good source for a range of foods - salads to burgers and more - as well as cocktails, beer and wine. Has outdoor tables as well as large interior space.

Sightseeing

A must-see for visitors, in my opinion. Dale Chihuly's works on display indoors and out, plus a little restaurant (tourist-priced) and some videos highlighting his life and artistic endeavors.

Whale watching is an *incredible* experience. If you have a day (& a car), I highly recommend the dedicated folks at Island Adventures. Check the website for coupons and details: orcawhales.com.

A classic tourist stop, now with some see-through floors (if you can handle that!).

Parks & Nature

2.8-mile paved path around the lake; 3.0 miles if you take the gravel path section. Inside half of the paved path is for "feet"; outside half is for "wheels." Great park! And with a kids' playground, too.

A great, winding park area with lots of little (mostly paved) trails and loads of interesting plants (Spring smells are outstanding but it's lovely and fresh all year long).

Arts & Culture

I took visiting friends to MOHAI a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised by the exhibits: it's very user-friendly for all ages and has a broad, interesting array of historical presentations. Something for everyone.

A bit on the small-ish side, but a great place to walk for grocery staples (that will also likely be organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. to meet a range of needs). They have a deli, small hot bar, a pizza 'bar' (?) and a decent salad bar; Whole Foods' bars are better, but this is much closer. Staff is friendly.
